Re: Proportion of cars with Transfer Case issue

Hi Rob I did a little bit of background work on this issue and it's not just Porsche that suffers from this fault but a general SUV problem. Having said that, it's not a massively complex job to undertake but it would be nice to know if Porsche have had any success to design this issue out? Having s...
